Is the PIPER Hooded Down Winter Jacket warm enough for -20°C?

It is rated to -20°C (-4°F) with 750 fill power duck down. That suits most Canadian and northern US winters, especially with a sweater underneath.

Is it actually waterproof?

The shell is rated 10,000 mm waterproof and 10,000 g/m²/24h breathable, with a windproof flap over the zipper. It handles rain and wet snow, but it is not a rain shell for hours of heavy downpour.

How does the semi-fitted cut run?

It follows the body without being snug, so PIPER says you can keep your usual size over light or heavier layers. Shoppers between sizes who want a roomier fit may prefer to size up.

Can the hood be removed?

No. The hood is fixed, with an adjustment system to cinch it around the face.

It measures 38.5 inches (97–98 cm), a long parka length that reaches past the hips toward the thigh.

What pockets does it have?

Two secure hand pockets with YKK coil zippers and a secure inner pocket, also zippered.

About the PIPER Hooded Down Winter Jacket

Piper is a women's long down winter jacket, waterproof and rated to -20°C (-4°F), designed in Canada, in Montréal, Québec. Its SUPER SMOOTH® recycled polyester shell is waterproof, breathable and windproof (10,000 mm), over 750 fill power duck down sourced from ethical farms, of certified traceable origin. Long (98 cm / 38.5") and semi-fitted, it follows the body's contours, less snugly than our fitted styles, so you can keep your usual size over light or heavier layers. A fixed hood with an adjustment system and storm cuffs hold in the heat, and the two-way YKK VISLON® zipper, behind a windproof flap with snaps, opens from the bottom for an easier stride. Two secure hand pockets and a secure inner pocket close with YKK® coil zippers.
